Disciplinary Report: Apertura 2016 Week 3

The Disciplinary Committee has suspended one player and upheld a red card appeal in the aftermath of this weekend’s Jornada 3 games.

Club América successfully filed a petition of nonconformity regarding the red card given to Renato Ibarra, with the Disciplinary Committee ruling that it was “manifestly erroneous”. As a result, Ibarra is cleared to play in Jornada 4.

The lone suspension of the week goes to Hugo Cid of Veracruz, who was sanctioned for receiving two yellow cards in the same game. He will miss the Tiburones Rojos’ next match.
